Vache Gabrielyan: Armenia`s GDP growth in 2025 to be slightly above  5%

ArmInfo. Armenia's GDP growth in 2025 is expected to be slightly above 5%, surpassing the 5.1% budgeted  in the state budget, according to Vache Gabrielyan, Dean of the College of Business and Economics at the American  University of Armenia and former Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia. He  made this remark to an ArmInfo correspondent during a panel  discussion "Armenia's New Reality as an Economic Shock" on September  24.

"Since our potential is estimated at 4.5-5%, we are likely  to   exceed this figure slightly. However, I don't predict a significant  increase-up to 6-7%," Vache Gabrielyan said.  It's worth noting that  many experts believe Armenia's GDP generation potential remains below  5%.  However, Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan insists that this  figure has increased in recent years, and is now estimated at 5-5.5%.  "In recent years, we've entered a different growth trajectory," says  Armenia's top financier.
